Chapter 79

Pei Yubai froze, cold sweat dripping from his neck, soaking his collar.

He stammered, "Qingyu, what are you talking about? How could I lie to you? Ye Luoyi and I were just playing around, didn't I tell you that? Everything I did was for our future, for you..."

Zhou Qingyu threw off Pei Yubai's tie and sneered, "You men are really interesting. You always like to impose your will on women. Why, if it weren't for me, wouldn't you run Tianhui and compete with Pei Hanli?"

"You will do this no matter who is around you. You do it for yourself. There is no need to say it's for me. I don't need it."

"As for Yan Xi," Zhou Qingyu paused, "this is a matter between her and me, you don't need to care."

After saying that, Zhou Qingyu turned and left.

Pei Yubai was the only one left. He gritted his teeth in resentment and threw all the documents on the ground, crushing them to pieces.

Zhou Qingyu returned to the nanny car. Yan Xi was sitting in the car playing games. When she saw her coming, she got out of the car quickly.

"We're done chatting~"

Pei Yubai didn't catch up, and Zhou Qingyu didn't look in a very good mood, which meant that Pei Yubai probably didn't succeed.

Yan Xi breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know what Pei Yubai was up to, but as long as he didn't succeed, it was good!

Zhou Qingyu looked at her coldly, "Yan Xi, I

Let’s chat.”

Yan Xi was stunned, wondering why Zhou Qingyu suddenly became serious.

Zhou Qingyu sent Xiao Meng away, then looked at Yan Xi, "Pei Yubai found out that all your roommates are single, so it's impossible for you to fall in love with their boyfriends. You lied to me when you said you were heartbroken."

Yan Xi's head exploded.

My brain suddenly crashed, and my thoughts became intermittent. Yan Xi looked at Zhou Qingyu's beautiful yet cold eyes, shrank her neck, and dared not answer.

Zhou Qingyu bit her lip, "Why did you lie to me?"

[The host has been detected to have a tendency to reveal the plot with the characters in the novel! The system will automatically reconcile the host's exposed dialogue related to the plot. If the host does not change after repeated teachings, the plot will execute a program to eliminate the host! ]

Yan Xi's eyes widened. "Erase the program? What does that mean?"

【Host, literal meaning.】

Yan Xi swallowed deeply and looked at Zhou Qingyu, "I... can't tell you the reason."

Zhou Qingyu was stunned, "Why?"

Yan Xi gritted her teeth and organized her words to avoid the plot content. "I can only say that I don't want you to be with Pei Yubai, I don't want you to be called a mistress, I don't want you to spend money on Pei Yubai... I want to help you whitewash your black material, and I want you to have your own life..."

【Warning! Warning! 】

[Host! Be careful with your words! Your last sentence almost gave away the plot! I'll let you off this time, but don't let me do that next time!]

"What does this have to do with you lying to me about your broken heart?" Zhou Qingyu couldn't understand. She thought for a moment and asked, "You want me to care about you, but you don't have time to care about Pei Yubai?"

Yan Xi nodded vigorously.

Zhou Qingyu spread her hands, "Why don't you just tell me directly? Why don't you just tell me that Pei Yubai is a scumbag and he doesn't deserve me? Why are you going through so much trouble?"

Yan Xi looked at Zhou Qingyu speechlessly.

Because you couldn't listen, because you were controlled by the plot, because at that time there was no one else in your heart except Pei Yubai...

But Yan Xi couldn't say it. Whether Zhou Qingyu was controlled by the plot or this world was a novel, she couldn't tell the truth about the world.

Yan Xi lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lied to you."

Zhou Qingyu became even angrier. She felt that Yan Xi clearly had something else in her words, but she just didn't say anything.

"Yan Xi! You are the one I trust the most! But you actually lied to me. I hate it most when people lie to me!"

She was so angry that she ignored Yan Xi and walked towards the nanny car.

"Xiao Meng! Let's go!"

Xiao Meng had been wearing headphones and didn't hear the two people talking. When she saw Zhou Qingyu calling her, she quickly got on the driver's seat, then turned around and asked Zhou Qingyu, "Sister Qingyu, Yan Xi hasn't come up yet!"

"Who cares about her?"

Zhou Qing said in a huff and reached out to close the car door.

"Gently!"

Yan Xi wanted to explain, and subconsciously reached out to hold the car door, but Zhou Qingyu was too fast, and the car door closed due to inertia, just pinching Yan Xi's hand.

"Ah——!" Yan Xi screamed in pain.

Zhou Qingyu was shocked and immediately opened the car door to check Yan Xi's hands. There was a red mark on her fair hands because the car door had scratched her skin and was bleeding.

"Are you stupid? Can't you see the car door is about to close?"

Yan Xi looked at Zhou Qingyu pitifully: "Qingqing, I'm in so much pain, are you willing to leave me alone?"

Zhou Qingyu frowned, "Don't flatter me, I won't fall for it now!" She asked Xiao Meng, "Where's Lin Zhi? She's not the VP assistant, where is she?"

Xiao Meng took out her phone and said, "I'll contact Sister Lin Zhi right now!"

Zhou Qingyu glanced at Yan Xi again, her eyes reluctant, but she still said firmly, "Lin Zhi has a car, ask her to take you to the hospital."

Yan Xi said bitterly, "Aren't you going to take me there?"

Zhou Qingyu put her hands on her hips and said, "I'm still angry now! Don't push your luck!"

Xiao Meng called back, "Sister Qingyu, Sister Lin Zhi is gone."

"How can she, an assistant, walk faster than the VP?"

"Today is Saturday, and I'm supposed to be working overtime..."

Zhou Qingyu was helpless. Lin Zhi was not there and Master Zhao had also gone back. It seemed to be force majeure. So she had to send Yan Xi to the hospital reluctantly. She was not forgiving Yan Xi. After all, she was Yan Xi's boss and she was only responsible for her employees!

Zhou Qingyu was about to speak when a deep voice came from behind her, "I'll take her to the hospital."

Zhou Yanci walked over to Yan Xi.

"VP is directly under the group management. Yan Xi is also my subordinate. I will send her to the hospital."

Zhou Qingyu said angrily, who asked you to give it to me, you old green tea girl!

But she couldn't bring herself to do that. Yan Xi had lied to her for so long, and she still didn't tell her the real reason for lying. She couldn't forgive Yan Xi so easily, or where would she put her face? Although the old green tea was tea, fortunately she was pursuing Yan Xi and wouldn't do anything excessive to her.

"Who cares about you! Do whatever you want!"

The eldest lady got into her nanny car with an arrogant attitude and without looking back.

…

Watching the nanny car drive away, Yan Xi let out a long sigh. She had thought about this day, but she had never thought it would come so soon.

Zhou Yanci carefully examined Yan Xi's wounds, and the Rolls-Royce slowly drove over and stopped beside the two of them.

"Let's go to the hospital."

"No, it's not serious."

Yan Xi could feel that although it hurt, the car door only scratched her skin and did not injure her bones.

Zhou Yanci bought iodine, cotton swabs, and bandages, and sat on a chair outside the convenience store to apply medicine to Yan Xi.

"Zhou Yanci, do you think Qingqing is really angry?" Yan Xi asked nervously. She had known Zhou Qingyu for so long, but this was the first time she saw her get angry at her.

Zhou Yanci raised his eyebrows, "Is she angry?"

"Not really?"

Zhou Yanci didn't know what to say. In his memory, Zhou Qingyu always bossed people around. She would get angry if she didn't get her way. Otherwise, how did the entertainment industry spread the rumor that she was a big shot? She was often like that.

But Zhou Yanci did not expose the truth and asked instead, "Why don't you tell her the truth?" In Zhou Yanci's opinion, there was probably a reason why Yan Xi lied to Zhou Qingyu.

Yan Xi was silent and unable to answer.

The two of them sat in silence, and Zhou Yanci quietly applied medicine to Yan Xi.

The summer night was gradually getting cooler. As the night wind blew, Yan Xi was so cold that she got goose bumps all over her body. Zhou Yanci took off his suit jacket and put it on her.

"Zhou Yanci," Yan Xi suddenly called him, "If one day you find out that I've been hiding something from you, will you be angry?"

Zhou Yanci said indifferently, "It depends on what it is."

Yan Xi paused.

For example, being close to you doesn't mean they like you, or that they care about your health out of kindness… they just want to be gentle with you.

But Yan Xi didn't dare to say it.

Zhou Yanci lowered his eyes and looked at Yan Xi who had not answered, and raised his eyebrows.

“I’d get angry.”

Yan Xi's heart skipped a beat.

The next moment, Zhou Yanci hugged her waist and said in a soft and pleasant voice, "So, since you have kept it a secret before, keep it a secret from now on. Keep it a secret from me for the rest of my life. Don't let me know the truth. Do you understand?"

——

In the darkness, at the corner of the convenience store.

Zhou Qingyu was wearing a high-end dress from M. The hem of her skirt was puffy and it made it difficult for her to move. But she still held up her skirt and secretly poked her head out from the side of the convenience store.

"What is Zhou Yanci doing? I'm just applying medicine, why is he doing this? Didn't we agree to go to the hospital? What a cunning old black tea!"

Zhou Qingyu dug her fingers into the wall of the convenience store and almost scratched the paint off the wall.

Xiao Meng followed Zhou Qingyu, quite speechless.

"Sister Qingyu, can't we just go out openly?" What kind of sneaky talk is that? There might be paparazzi around!

"No, I can't let Yan Xi see it!" Zhou Qingyu said. She was still angry. If she let Yan Xi know that she cared about her, wouldn't she lose?

"Then how long will we stay here..." Xiao Meng rubbed her arms. She was afraid of the dark.

"Oh, look again! Look again!"

——

Zhou Yanci has already bandaged Yan Xi's wound.

It was getting late. Yan Xi had to take a flight to Country X to record a variety show tomorrow morning. She had not packed her luggage yet, so she had to go back to Zhou's house.

As she stood up, the system appeared beside her.

[Host, the young lady is secretly watching you from the right side of the convenience store. ]

Yan Xi:!!!

"She hasn't come back yet?"

【No! 】

Yan Xi stuck her head out and looked in the direction the system pointed. As expected, she saw a furry head sticking out furtively.

The moment Zhou Qingyu met Yan Xi's gaze, she suddenly shrank her head back!

"Did she see it?" she asked Xiao Meng.

Xiao Meng: "That's impossible. It's pitch dark. Yan Xi has good grades. Most of those with good grades are nearsighted!"

Zhou Qingyu also comforted herself in this way, "Yes, how many students with good grades are not four-eyed? Zhou Yanci is nearsighted, and Yan Xi must be nearsighted too. She must be nearsighted.

I must not have seen it..."

"Gently?"

Suddenly, Yan Xi's voice came from behind. Zhou Qingyu was so scared that she trembled and almost tripped over her haute couture dress. Fortunately, Xiao Meng supported her in time.

Yan Xi appeared wrapped in a bandage. When she saw Zhou Qingyu, her eyes lit up and she smiled and said, "Do you care about me and can't bear to leave me?"

Zhou Qingyu stammered, "What nonsense are you talking about! I'm thirsty, so I came here to buy a bottle of water! Xiao Meng, is that right?"

Xiao Meng was startled and nodded frantically, "Yes, yes, yes! Sister Qingyu doesn't care about you, we are just here to buy water!"

Yan Xi deliberately dragged out the last syllable, "Oh...what about the water?"

Zhou Qingyu choked.

She looked at Xiao Meng, "Where's the water?"

"Water, water...I'll go buy some now!"

Xiao Meng grabbed her phone and went into the convenience store.

Zhou Qingyu was left alone, with a stiff back.

She glanced at Yan Xi, with a look of unwillingness to admit defeat, "Anyway, I didn't come here because of you, so don't be so self-indulgent!"

"Yeah, I know!" Yan Xi said obediently, "You didn't come here because of me. I deliberately chose a convenience store where you bought water. I came here by myself. It has nothing to do with you."

Zhou Qingyu nodded with satisfaction, "That's pretty good!"

When Xiao Meng came out with the water, Zhou Qingyu took it and drank two sips. Her movements were natural, like a proud white swan.

Walking past Yan Xi, she glanced at the bandage on Yan Xi's hand and smacked her lips twice, "Zhou Yanci, what the hell are you wrapping? It's so ugly!"

Zhou Yanci didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Blame me?"

Zhou Qingyu: "That's right, it's hurting my eyes! Remember to ask Doctor Li to bandage it again when you get back. It's so ugly and unsightly!"

Before Zhou Yanci could say anything, Yan Xi held him down and said, "Okay, I'll ask Doctor Li to rebandage it when I get back."

——

In the evening, Yan Xi returned to Zhou's house in the Rolls-Royce that Zhou had driven to attend the banquet.

The third stop of the "Travel" is the Queen City of Country X, which is in the southern hemisphere and takes 12 hours to fly. Yan Xi and her friends will set off at 8 o'clock tomorrow.

The next day, when Yan Xi got up, Zhou Yanci had not yet gone to the company, so he took the medicine box to change her medicine.

——Although Zhou Qingyu asked Yan Xi to go back and ask Doctor Li to re-bandage it yesterday, it was too late and Doctor Li had already fallen asleep. Yan Xi did not disturb him. She felt that Zhou Yanci had done a good job of bandaging it.

Zhou Yanci removed the bandage on Yan Xi's hand and carefully applied medicine to her.

"Do you want a bigger bag?" he asked Yan Xi, "Qingyu is easily soft-hearted."

Yan Xi was ready to do something, but she suppressed the thought. "Forget it. If she gets caught, she'll be even angrier if she knows I'm lying to her again."

When she arrived at the hall door, Zhou Qingyu had just finished packing four large boxes, which she could not carry by herself.

Yan Xi came forward happily, "Qingqing, let me help you!"

Zhou Qingyu raised an eyebrow, "That was your own will, but it doesn't mean I forgive you!"

Yan Xi nodded, "Of course~"

It is winter in the Queen City. Zhou Qingyu's four large boxes are filled to the brim. Yan Xi only brought one box as usual. Adding Zhou Qingyu's four boxes, it is not easy to move them.

In addition, her left hand was injured, and she couldn't lift it with just her right hand.

When walking down the stairs, Yan Xi's body swayed and she almost fell. Zhou Yanci supported her in time.

He frowned, "Let me do it."

Zhou Qingyu leaned out her head worriedly and saw Yan Xi's calf hit the steps, leaving a small bruise. She gritted her teeth and said, "Don't move! You're so clumsy that you've damaged my luggage!"

"Uncle Yu!" Zhou Qingyu called out, "Ask a few people to help me carry the suitcase out."

Butler Yu smiled and said, "Okay."

Zhou Qingyu walked in front in a domineering manner, with two servants following behind her carrying her four suitcases.

Walking past Yan Xi, Zhou Qingyu glanced at Zhou Yanci and said, "What are you standing there for? Take Yan Xi's luggage and follow me!"

Then, she looked at Yan Xi and said confidently, "I'm not helping you. I'm just worried that you'll waste my time! It takes 12 hours to fly to the Queen City, and I don't want to waste time on you!"

"I know!" Yan Xi said with a smile, "Miss is worried about time, not me!"

——

After getting in the nanny car, Zhou Qingyu put on a blindfold and leaned back in the seat to catch her sleep.

——She got up too early, her biological clock hasn’t adjusted yet, and she needs to sleep even when she gets on the plane.

The servant put all the luggage in the back seat of the car, and Zhou Yanci finally moved Yan Xi's luggage up.

Yan Xi lowered her voice and urged quietly, "There are flight attendants at the airport who will help you move your suitcases. Don't worry, just go to work!"

As the CEO of Zhou Group, you can’t always be late.

Zhou Yanci gently scratched Yan Xi's nose and said, "Call me when you get on the plane."

Yan Xi looked around warily, and only heaved a sigh of relief after making sure no one saw them. "Don't move your hands or feet, it's not good if someone sees us!"

Zhou Yanci pinched Yan Xi's face again, "I pinched my girlfriend, do they have any objections?"

Yan Xi's face flushed, "No, it's not..."

Zhou Yanci was startled and raised his eyebrows, "You don't admit it after you kissed me? Yan Xi, are you such a scumbag?"

Yan Xi felt guilty, "...At least don't let Qingqing know now!"

Zhou Qingyu is still unhappy with Zhou Yanci. Moreover, when Pei Yubai accused her of deceiving Zhou Qingyu last night, Yan Xi could guess that Pei Yubai was probably slandering her, saying that everything she did was for Zhou's resources, or perhaps it was to seduce Zhou Yanci to marry into a wealthy family. Now he wants Zhou Qingyu to know that the two of them are together. Isn't this confirming Pei Yubai's slander?

It’s not impossible to have a secret relationship.

"Anyway! Don't touch me now, got it?"

Zhou Yanci was so angry that he almost laughed, "You're worried about Zhou Qingyu getting angry, but not me getting angry?"

Yan Xi looked puzzled, "Why are you angry? You are my brother, be more generous and stop being so hypocritical!"

Zhou Yanci: "..."

"Okay, okay!" Yan Xi patted Zhou Yanci's shoulder, "We'll only be gone for five days, you stay in Haicheng and concentrate on your work, okay?"

Zhou Yanci still looked unhappy.

Yan Xi: "I will bring you a gift!"

Zhou Yanci had a sullen face.

Yan Xi: "I promise to text you every day!"

Zhou Yanci sneered.

Yan Xi is at a loss. Men are so hard to please.

She was fine with being angry. It was okay to be angry. She had to get to the airport. If she delayed any longer, Zhou Qingyu would probably find out.

Yan Xi ignored Zhou Yanci and turned to walk towards the car door.

Suddenly, her arm was pulled hard. Due to inertia, Yan Xi lost her balance and fell into a gentle embrace, followed by soft lips touching hers.

The tip of his tongue conquered the city, and before Yan Xi could react, Zhou Yanci had completely occupied her senses.

She wanted to push Zhou Yanci away, but Zhou Yanci was so strong and kissed her so fiercely that it felt like her breathing was being taken away. In such a small space, Yan Xi could no longer escape and could only feel her legs gradually becoming weaker.

After a while, Zhou Yanci let go of Yan Xi.

Yan Xi's lips were extremely red and swollen, and her breathing was disordered.

Zhou Yanci's fingertips gently pressed on Yan Xi's moist lips, wiping the water stains on her lips.

"Well, this is the way to go."

Yan Xi was furious, "Zhou Yanci!"

Zhou Yanci smiled wickedly and whispered in her ear, "If you don't go over, Zhou Qingyu will make trouble."

Sure enough, just as Zhou Yanci finished speaking, Zhou Qingyu had already poked her head out of the nanny car and pulled off the eye mask she was wearing.

"Xixi? Are you still not okay?"

"I'm coming!" Yan Xi responded, turned around and glared at Zhou Yanci fiercely, "I'll settle the score with you when I get back!"

Little did she know that her fierce look was actually very cute in Zhou Yanci's eyes.

He smiled and said, "Okay."

——

The nanny car drove towards the airport.

When they first got in the car, Zhou Qingyu noticed Yan Xi's lip color, "You put on lipstick? It looks good."

Yan Xi was in a state of confusion, and stammered, "It's not a big brand, but a small brand. The brand asked us to give it to them as a gift for their advertising..."

When Zhou Qingyu heard that it was not a famous brand, she lost interest. After all, the young lady was born delicate and liked to use expensive cosmetics.

Half an hour later, the nanny car arrived at Haicheng Airport.

Although Zhou's house is in the suburbs, it is quite close to the airport.

Yan Xi did not see the Lu family's plane at the airport. The airport staff said that Lu Beiyu and Ye Luoyi got up earlier and left half an hour ago.

As they stepped out of the nanny car, flight attendants came up one after another and helped Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi carry their luggage.

Zhou Qingyu looked at Yan Xi again. Her lips had lost their previous red color and turned into a light pink.

Zhou Qingyu said, "Your lipstick is not good, don't use it."

"Ah?" Yan Xi didn't react for a moment.

Zhou Qingyu opened her phone and took a selfie of Yan Xi's face. "Look, it hasn't been long since we came from the old house and your lipstick has all fallen off. It doesn't last long. What kind of brand is this? Stay away from it!"

"Oh, tell our artists not to endorse the brand anymore, this brand is not worthy!"

At the moment of entering the airport, the variety show live broadcast also started. Therefore, Zhou Qingyu's words fell into the ears of all the audiences, and the audiences were curious——

[Miss, are you going to pull out the garbage signs today? ]

[Zhou's house is not far from the airport. If the color fades now, it will be really rubbish! Please avoid it! ]

[What kind of cosmetics brand is this? It’s so bad! ]

Yan Xi's face turned red and she wanted to cry but had no tears.

How could she tell the brand? What if she just said something wrong and caused the brand's sales to plummet?

Yan Xi could only mumble, "I forgot... let's go back and check!"

Zhou Qingyu didn't think much about it. Looking at her lip color, she still felt that it looked better when it was a little redder.

She took out a tube of lipstick inlaid with diamonds from her bag, pinched Yan Xi's chin and applied it lightly, "Well, this color is good!"

She threw the lipstick to Yan Xi, "Just use this one!" She added, "I just don't want you to be embarrassed by following me. I don't care about you! You have to understand this!"

Yan Xi pinched the lipstick covered with broken diamonds, "I know, I know! Miss doesn't care about me, she just doesn't want me to lose face~"

Zhou Qingyu was very satisfied and walked towards the gangway with her head held high. Yan Xi picked up her bag and quickly followed.

As I walked to the plane door, a familiar figure came into view.

"Qingyu, Yanxi, good morning."

Pei Yubai was wearing a neat suit and standing in the aisle of the private jet.

Yan Xi's breathing stagnated, "Why is he here too?"

Zhou Qingyu didn't care. "Pei Yubai said he wanted to travel with me. This time he will be our travel butler and will be responsible for all matters related to our trip."

Yan Xi's brows furrowed deeply.

"Tongzi, are you being controlled by the plot again?"

【impossible.】

[When the luck value is above 60, the character can break free from control. This is an iron rule. ]

[It is estimated that Pei Yubai wanted to win back the eldest lady, so he took the initiative to ask her to be his travel butler. After all, he could always be with the eldest lady, which would make it more likely that he would win her heart back.]

Yan Xi's eyes darkened, "He wishes!"

——

In the following trip, Yan Xi tried her best to keep Zhou Qingyu and Pei Yubai away from each other. But Zhou Qingyu was still angry with her, and her efforts failed.

Zhou Qingyu said she wanted to eat pineapple, and Yan Xi stepped forward and said, "I'll do it!"

Before she picked up the fruit knife, Zhou Qingyu had already spoken, "Who wants to eat the fruit you peeled? Pei Yubai, you do it!"

Zhou Qingyu asked for milk tea, and Yan Xi rushed to the front again, "I can cook it!"

Zhou Qingyu glanced at her and said, "What can you cook with your crippled hands? Pei Yubai, I want Four Seasons Milk Green Tea, three parts sugar, room temperature, and pearl red bean oreos! Don't make a mistake!"

Watching Pei Yu busy around, Yan Xi could only feel anxious and could do nothing.

Yan Xi gritted her teeth, "I'm so angry! Trash Pei Yubai!"

The system glanced at the sliced ​​pineapple on Yan Xi's left hand, and then at the fresh hot milk tea on the right hand side——

[Host, lie down... Isn't it nice? ]
